Get text from webbrowser... [solved]

I know i remember posting something similar and @Jason solved it for me. but i cannot find where it is..

How would i get text from a webbrowser .txt file..

(eg) webbrowser has the word "hi" and i want the label to have the same as the browser

I do remember some of the code something along the lines of

Code:

If WebBrowser1.DocumentText.ToString.ToLower = "Hi" Then
            Label2.Text = WebBrowser1.DocumentText.ToString.ToLower
        End If

but the label wont read it!

Any help?

Code:

If WebBrowser1.DocumentText.ToLower = "hi" Then Label2.Text = WebBrowser1.DocumentText.ToLower End If

The string "Hi" has to match ToLower so instead it should be "hi". If you converted it ToUpper then you would do "HI". Also DocumentText is already a string so doing .ToString is unnecessary.

If the word "Hi" isn't the only string on the web page and you still need to check if it on the page you would do

Code:

If WebBrowser1.DocumentText.ToLower.Contains("hi") Then Label2.Text = WebBrowser1.DocumentText.ToLower End If

I knew it was something like that, Thanks noob

but that doesnt work still, That code give's me the source of the webpage

edit 2: i ended up using

Code:

Dim myText As String = Me.WebBrowser1.Document.Body.InnerText
